Depressive symptoms (MTAG)

ADGRL4 · rs228568

Where this position leads

Condition: Depression (Self-Reported Symptoms)

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10⁻⁸, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10⁻⁵⁰. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10⁻²⁰. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10⁻⁸). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 354,862 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0149 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0096-0.0202); p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — inside ADGRL4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Depressive symptoms (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Depressive symptoms (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Depressive symptoms (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs228568

What is rs228568?

rs228568 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADGRL4 gene. Published research associates it with depressive symptoms (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs228568 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Depression (Self-Reported Symptoms). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs228568 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs228568 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29292387. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
